Knowing their country’s existence is on the line, some Mexicans decided the time had
come to break Wall Street’s 20-year ban on allowing U.S. statesman LaRouche to visit
Mexico, so that they could discuss what is to be done directly, with the world-renowned
economist.

LaRouche’s speech to the Autonomous University of the State of Coahuila. “The IMF
is dead, in its present form,” he said. “If it succeeds, it dies. If it fails, it
dies. This gives you an indication of what we’ve described as a systemic crisis, as
opposed to people who study the statistical phenomenon called boom-bust cycles....
We do not face a cyclical crisis; we face a systemic crisis.”

Feature

“Under conditions of systemic crisis,” LaRouche writes, “individuals who can not put
themselves willfully at risk for humanity, can never be trusted in the most crucial
positions of political authority.”

Economics

In the first four months of Fiscal Year 2003, U.S. states already project budget deficits
of $50 billion—more than the total deficits for FY 2002 as a whole. LaRouche’s emergency
proposal for a “Super-TVA,” modelled on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Tennessee Valley Authority,
can create directed credit for infrastructure and jobs, as the keystone for recovery.

International

Deputy Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz, a leading proponent of unilateral pre-emptive
war, boasted publicly of the U.S. assassination of an alleged terrorist in Yemen.
Wolfowitz’s actions have jeopardized cooperation with scores of governments, whose
collaboration is vital to any effective—and legal—counterterror campaign.

The Security Council agreement to UN resolution 1441, clearing the way for international
inspections in Iraq, and Saddam Hussein’s acquiescence to that resolution, may, in
the new political situation following the U.S. elections, create an opening to prevent
a catastrophic war.

National

A Wall Street-sponsored financial scam which has been looting hospitals and health-care
institutions for years, has now reached the end of the line, and is triggering bankruptcies
of health-care providers nationwide, and endangering the lives of thousands of patients
across the country.
